'Elementary' (Sept. 27; CBS)

CBS

This modern-day take on Sherlock Holmes could have easily been another CBS crime procedural (ask your grandparents about them), but is instead one of the most promising new dramas, thanks to the inclusion of the undervalued Jonny Lee Miller (we still miss his brilliant-weird Eli Stone) as the common-sense detective and -- twisty! -- a female Watson (Lucy Liu). Sherlock lives in New York City now, so there will be no evil English butlers to deal with.
